I quite agree, floo.  The Holocaust was not a myth, it happened and there is ample evidence for it from many sources, some from first hand accounts;  not just from camp survivors but from those who liberated them.

It would suit some to believe it's all an exaggeration and those are the people who pick and choose what they believe. It's called airbrushing history.

One of the memories I will treasure and value was meeting Corrie Ten Boom in 1980. This Dutch lady was imprisoned in Ravensbruck, along with her family, for hiding Jews in her watchmaker shop cum home in Haarlem, Holland. A very humbling experience, meeting a very genuine hero.

Because they do not want it to be true for some reason.

They cannot choose what they believe and I suspect that some do but claim otherwise

I detect irony here ,

Of course history has always been written by people with agendas.

Fortunately now we have cameras and films it has become harder to manipulate facts. Though some still try.

 I suppose they hero worshipped the people who did it, and it's a sort of cognitive dissonance.
